DO (F) SOL (C)Saint Mother Maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
DO (F) SOL (C)Thank Mother Maria there's nothing so sweet
RE (G) DO (F) SOL (C)As the undying love of a South Texas girl
O.K. After playing this song as a part of my live performance repertoire for the last
years, I think that I have a worked out a fairly accurate version of, in my honets
one of Lyle's best songs to date. Of course being a native Texan myself I am a bit biased.

VERSE- (piano, guitars, cello)
(Lyle Lovett)
SOL (D) DOadd2 (G)Three in the front seat they sat on each side
SOL (D) RE2 (A2) RE (A)That green-and-white 58 Fairlane it would glide
Down farm roads past open fields seeming like no big deal
SOL (D) RE2 (A2) RE (A)As it was happening I never felt a thing
SOL (D) DOadd2 (G)
But now looking back it seems like it was everything
SOL (D) RE2 (A2) RE (A)Singing with Mom just so we could hear ourselves sing
Stealing a drink from the cold can in daddy's lap
SOL (D) RE2 (A2) RE (A)Protected by only a small thin brown paper sack
DOadd2 (G) SOL (D)
And the wind blew the echoes of long-faded voices
RE2 (A2) RE (A) DOadd2 (G) SOL (D)And they'd sing me a song that the old cowboys sang
And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
RE2 (A2) RE (A)I was just singing because I was supposed to
CHORUS- (same as intro)
Sing Mother Maria watch over us please
RE2 (A2) RE (A) DOadd2 (G) SOL (D)As we wonder around in this dangerous world
DOadd2 (G) SOL (D)Thank Mother Maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
VERSE- (same as above)
And with the windows wide open it felt hot to us anyway
Three bound together on a day just like any day
They told me and taught me and showed me and bought me
Whatever I wanted from the corner U-tote-M
They say the name Corpus Christi means the body of Jesus
Pronounce it Refugio (Re-fur-io) city folks they don't know
It looks like Palacios (Pu-law-see-os) but sounds like Palacios (Pu-laa-shus)
Just listen the next time you're watchin' Sid Lasher
And the wind blew the echoes of long-faded voices
And they would sing me a song that the old cowboys sang
And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
I was just singing
CHORUS- (same as above)
Saint Mother Maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
RE2 (A2)I was just singing
VERSE- (same as above)
And these days with car seats and open container laws
Social correctness leaves no room for Santa Claus
Sitting right next to me she looks like that used to be
Song that they sang for me
And with the windows wide open it feels hot to us anyway
Two bound together on a day just like any day
The wind blows the echoes of long-faded voices
And they sing us a song that the old cowboys sang
And now that I know what the words mean and everything
I am still singing
CHORUS- (same as above)
Saint Mother Maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
DOadd2 (G) SOL (D)
Saint Mother Maria watch over us please
RE2 (A2) RE (A) DOadd2 (G) SOL (D)As we stumble around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria there's nothing so sweet
RE2 (A2) RE (A) DOadd2 (G) SOL (D)As the undying love of a South Texas girl
RE2 (A2) RE (A) DOadd2 (G) SOL (D)As the undying love of a South Texas girl
